Moreover, could someone like Zacharias, who sat in the office year-round, really fight?
It was not that Shirley was overly confident, but under her father’s training, she had indeed reached acertain level of standard.
Zacharias seemed persuaded by his nephew. He stood up and unfastened the buttons of his waistcoatwith his long fingers, revealing a white shirt and a pair of black pants underneath. He emanated arefined and gentlemanly aura.
“Imogen, would you be willing to spar with me?” Zacharias walked toward the door.
Shirley didn’t expect Zacharias to actually want to spar with her. As his bodyguard, she couldn’t refusehis
request.
“Don’t be afraid, Pretty. My uncle can’t beat you. Go ahead!” Tony shouted from the side.
“I’m willing.” She nodded.
Corinne, who was in the kitchen, overheard the conversation outside. It caught her attention, and shefelt a bit anxious. She also wanted to participate in this close combat with Zacharias.

She immediately heightened her alertness. This was not an opponent who was easy to deal with. Shehad underestimated this man just now, and now she had to focus her energy on handling him.
“Imogen, let’s begin!” Zacharias called out to her.

As her fist moved toward the man’s face without holding back, his brows furrowed, and he skillfullyblocked the attack with his arm. The rebounding force made her realize once again that this manwasn’t a kitten but a wild beast.

“Wow! That’s so cool! Go for it!” He cheered Shirley on and hoped his uncle would show someimpressive
moves.

Shirley sensed the man’s strength was still concealed to some extent, although she also didn’t unleashher full potential. She knew this was just a friendly match, so it was better to stop at a certain point.
At that moment, due to a problem with the quality of her high heels, the sound of heels breakingechoed when she stepped back.
She immediately stumbled backward, and there was a rockery pool with a sharp stone right behind her.
“Ah! Uncle Zacharias! Watch out for the sharp stone,” Tony noticed and yelled.
Due to the broken heel, Shirley lost her balance. Even if she could avoid the sharp stone, she couldn’tescape the fate of falling into the pool.
